Join the team that unlocks the power of Apple Maps. The Maps APIs team builds and maintains the core services that enable users and partners to interact with Apple Maps-powering essential features like directions, search, and places, used by millions every day across Apple platforms! As an engineer on the team, you'll help design and deliver secure, privacy-focused APIs that operate at global scale. Our systems handle billions of requests with high reliability and performance, enabling some of Apple's most critical and continuously available services. We're looking for a thoughtful and experienced engineer to craft the next generation of Apple Maps APIs-built to be intuitive, secure, and performant across both online and offline experiences. You'll work on low-latency, real-time systems that support location features with strict uptime and availability requirements. This role involves maintaining and evolving existing systems while designing new capabilities from the ground up. You'll collaborate closely with teams across Apple, uphold strong software engineering practices, and help ensure user privacy by building systems that protect personal data and safeguard sensitive partner information. While the role is primarily backend-focused, we're looking for someone comfortable working across the stack when needed. The ideal candidate has experience designing scalable APIs that balance performance, reliability, and simplicity, with a strong background of building secure, high-availability infrastructure under heavy load. Experience designing and running APIs at scale Experience with large scale storage systems and indexing Knowledge in concepts such as concurrency, parallelism and multi-threaded systems Experience with stream and batch processing frameworks and distributed databases Real world exposure to C++ Experience with full stack development Array
